Police Mom: Support For Officers Crucial

As the mother of one Connecticut state trooper and mother-in-law to another and also to a town police officer, I applaud the Ferguson grand jury's decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson. Law enforcement personnel need to be able to defend themselves as well as the people they protect.

They need to know that at least that law-abiding citizens have their backs. As for Michael Brown -- what an awful price to pay for a few cigars.
